Serve With Me
How can I get my friend to come volunteer with me?
Dear Patty and Sandy,
I'm your average twentysomething with a boyfriend and friends and a desire to give my time to charitable causes I believe in. I'd very much like to volunteer with a friend, but we're all busy in our different ways. How can I convince a friend that getting together once a week to volunteer at a soup kitchen will bring us closer and benefit our community at the same time?
Claire, I bet that at least one of your local food pantries has evening hours—and serving there once a month with your friend would not only fill an obvious need but allow you to work side by side with other volunteers while learning a lot about your community from the clients that you serve. If that doesn't appeal to your friend, find out what organizations or issues she is already passionate about—what gets her going when she reads the news; what causes does she give to at the office or around the holidays? Compare that list to your own and find a way to focus whatever volunteer or community-action work you pursue as a duo around one of those shared issues. That will make your volunteerism a natural extension of your life, learning, and friendship.
I think it's a great idea to volunteer with friends, especially if that means you'll be prone to do it more often. I try to volunteer a morning a month with a rotating group of friends and colleagues and find it's a great time to catch up on what's going on in their lives and benefit our community at the same time. That said, my group is made up of women who independently decided to volunteer and just happen to be able to do it together. Cajoling, and even guilting, your friend may work, but she may end up embarrassing you when she routinely misses her shift or ends up dropping the gig a month later.
Once a week may be a hefty commitment for lots of twentysomethings (and everyone else!), so why not start by asking your friend to come with you to a one-time volunteer day and see whether you can get her jazzed about it? Sites like Volunteer Match, Idealist, and even Craigslist have good ways to search for opportunities in your area. Or if you feel like you could benefit from some human contact as you choose your cause, there are volunteer centers in almost every community. As my mom said, finding something that you both find interesting and fulfilling could certainly help energize her. Do you both love kids? The beach? Africa? Use this shared interest to find something that works for both of you.
Another idea is to step back from the idea of direct service and volunteer by working on a campaign for a candidate or piece of legislation you care about—or by bringing together a group of friends to talk about different issues. I have a friend whose book club focuses on reading timely, socially conscious books. Actively engaging yourself and those around you in discussions about the world can be just as important as direct service … though it may not satisfy your desire to interact with those in need.
Do you have a real-life do-gooding dilemma? Please send it to firstname.lastname@example.com and Patty and Sandy will try to answer it.
In our ongoing effort to do better ourselves, we're donating 25 percent of the proceeds from this column to ONE.org—an organization committed to raising public awareness about the issues of global poverty, hunger, and disease and the efforts to fight such problems in the world's poorest countries.

Disciplinary Minor
Professors — Ray Hutchison, Harvey J. Kaye
Associate Professor — Andrew Austin (chair)
Web site: www.uwgb.edu/sociology
Sociology Minor Requirements | Course Descriptions
Sociology is the systematic study of social organization and social life in society. It uses both scientific and humanistic approaches to explain and understand social behavior and social systems. Topics studied range from the family, minority groups, deviant behavior, and crime, to gender, ethnicity, social class, collective behavior, and power.
Sociology students learn a variety of research methods (including ethnography, field methods, and survey research) and social theories that may be used to study both large-scale and small-scale patterns of social relationships and processes by which these patterns change.A minor in Sociology will provide additional breadth of perspective for students with interdisciplinary majors in Urban and Regional Studies, Social Change and Development, Human Development, and Business Administration. It also provides good preparation for students going on to graduate work in programs such as sociology, social work, history, urban studies, and other interdisciplinary social science programs.

Ex-Concord teacher accused of mailing drugs to white supremacist gang members in prisonBy KATHRYN MARCHOCKI
New Hampshire Union Leader
August 29. 2013 12:21PM
A former Concord fifth-grade teacher whom police say has ties to a white supremacist gang was arrested Thursday and charged with conspiring with a gang member to smuggle drugs into prison through the U.S. mail.
Peggy Sinclair, 50, of Downing St., is accused of conspiring with inmate Matthew Peters, 22, to smuggle suboxone into New Hampshire State Prison in Concord through the mail on two occasions this year, police allege.
Peters, who lived with Sinclair prior to their arrests on drug charges in April, is a "street captain" in the Brotherhood of White Warriors, a prison-based gang also known as BOWW, police said. He allegedly is responsible for expanding the group to the streets of Concord.
Sinclair is one of Peters' girlfriends and an associate of other BOWW members still inside prison, Concord police allege. She formerly taught at Broken Ground School in Concord, where Peters was once a student.
Sinclair allegedly used the U.S. Postal Service to smuggle suboxone film concealed in envelopes inside prison. The first envelope was mailed May 17 to Peters; the second mailed to another inmate June 2, police allege.
Suboxone is a medication used for treatment of narcotic addiction by reducing symptoms of opiate dependence, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
State corrections department investigators intercepted both envelopes, police said.
At the time of the alleged mailings, Sinclair was free on personal recognizance bail related to her April 25 arrest for possessing prescription drugs without a prescription. Peters also was arrested that day on drug charges.
Sinclair turned herself in to Concord police today. She is to be arraigned today at 6th Circuit District Court in Concord on two counts each of possession of controlled drugs, conspiracy, delivery of articles to prisoners, and default of bail conditions.
Police discovered the alleged drug smuggling during an ongoing multi-agency investigation of BOWW.

Knife taken from elementary pupil
LAFAYETTE — Alice Boucher Elementary staff took a knife Wednesday morning from a student and police were called to assist with a search of the classroom wing where the student attends classes, Lafayette Police Cpl. Paul Mouton said.
No other weapons were found during the search of the fourth- and fifth-grade wing of the school, Mouton said in a news release.
The school's principal, Laniakia Johnson, asked Lafayette police school resource officers to come to the school Wednesday morning because Johnson got a report Tuesday afternoon that a student planned to bring a knife to school the next day, Mouton said.
"The school administration had previously (Tuesday) devised a plan of action following receipt of the threat yesterday,"Mouton said.
The student's parents were contacted and the child was released to their custody, he said. The child, who was under the age of 11, was not charged with a crime. The child's exact age was not released by police.
Johnson sent out a recorded voice message and email to parents Wednesday afternoon explaining that the search was planned following an "infraction" Tuesday. The search was "a proactive measure" and the school was not on a "complete lockdown," she said in the message.
Students "were never in any danger or placed in harm's way," she said in the message.
Man, 35, arrested in Facebook threats
LAFAYETTE — University of Louisiana at Lafayette police arrested Ryan M. Kazemi, 35, Tuesday and booked him with terrorizing after he was accused of making threats on Facebook referencing the university and its police department.
Kazemi is not employed by the university and is not a student, UL-Lafayette police Sgt. Billy Abrams said.
He said university police began an investigation because "some of the threats were directed toward university police."
Kazemi referenced other law enforcement agencies in his alleged Facebook posts, but did not characterize the references as threats.
Abrams said he could not disclose details on the Facebook posts or how the police department became aware of the posts.
"It's still under investigation," he said.
Kazemi was arrested without incident at a home on Betts Street, records show. Jail records show that Kazemi resides in the 100 block of Betts Street, which is less than 2 miles from the university police department.
"There was no danger to the university community at that time," Abrams said.

Can past trauma play a negative role in the health outcomes of someone living with HIV/AIDS?
A two-year study conducted at the Duke Center for Health Policy and Inequalities Research (CHPIR) confirms mounting data that says, "Yes."
Researchers from the Coping with HIV/AIDS in the Southeast (CHASE) study asked 600 people living with HIV/AIDS if they experienced any type of violence or sexual abuse growing up, and what they learned was eye-opening. Half of the participants have a history of childhood abuse and trauma, and one in four had been sexually abused. Researchers also found that people who had a history of this type of trauma experienced worse health outcomes than those who did not.
According to a Duke University press release, the study also found that:
Brian Pence, Ph.D., one of the authors of the study, told TheBody.com, "What really stood out for us was just how common abuse was among this pretty general sample of people living with HIV. It didn't really matter which outcome we looked at -- sexual risk behaviors, medication adherence, current health -- these patients also had the worst health outcomes."
Why exactly this connection exists isn't really known, though. Pence said that when they factored in the traditional reasons why trauma would impact adherence -- such as depression and drug and alcohol use -- they still saw poor health outcomes with people who weren't struggling with those same issues. "Right now we now have more questions than we do answers," he admitted.
But what Pence and the other researchers know for sure is the study's findings illuminate the need for doctors with HIV-positive patients to better screen for past trauma. "With the goal of optimizing health, we hope to raise awareness and develop health systems that ask about past traumatic experiences, provide coping strategies," he said, "so patients can be able to take the best care of themselves that they can."

Sundance Channel And Diageo Partner On Dynamic Multi-Platform Sponsorship Deal
Network Dives into the Search for Captain Morgan's Lost Fleet with New DocumentaryThe Unsinkable Henry Morgan Airing on Sundance Channel on January 20th; Film Will Screen at a Sundance Channel Event during the 2013 Sundance Film Festival
In The Unsinkable Henry Morgan, award-winning director Michael Haussman follows a team of artists and experts as they explore the legends surrounding Morgan's exploits in Panama
Jan 16, 2013, 12:02 EST
NEW YORK, Jan. 16, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Sundance Channel and Diageo have partnered on a multi-platform, multi-brand sponsorship deal and production project to be launched at the upcoming 2013 Sundance Film Festival. With a variety of activities and a major presence, Diageo's Captain Morgan, Ciroc and Bulleit Bourbon brands will come to life at Sundance Channel's headquarters on Main Street in Park City, Utah during the festival.
Ciroc will excite Sundance Channel HQ visitors with musical stylings from their in-house DJ each day of the festival. On Sunday, January 20th, Tom Bulleit and Jeymes Samuel, the director of They Die by Dawn, will host an exclusive event at the Sundance Channel HQ where they will debut a trailer for the upcoming They Die by Dawn premiere. The video short will highlight the visionary spirits of both Tom Bulleit and Jeymes Samuel, bringing to life the spirit of both the Bulleit Bourbon brand and the upcoming film.
As part of an ongoing effort to bring the history of one of the world's most renowned privateers to life, the Captain Morgan brand and Sundance Channel have aligned with award-winning director Michael Haussman to create The Unsinkable Henry Morgan, a documentary film exploring the myths and legends surrounding Captain Henry Morgan's conquests in Panama, premiering on Sunday, January 20, 2013 at 9:35 PM ET.
On the evening of Friday, January 18th, the film will be screened at the Filmmaker Lodge in Park City, with an after-party taking place at Sundance Channel HQ. Fritz Hanselmann, the lead archaeologist featured in the film, will emcee the event and director Michael Haussman, as well as New York Times bestselling author of "Empire of the Blue Water," Stephan Talty, will both participate in a Q&A session. Bringing the Captain Morgan brand to life, the HQ will display a 10-foot replica of The Satisfaction, Captain Morgan's flagship, during the event. Additionally, there will be photographs from the documentary's shipwreck expedition, behind-the-scenes shots from filming, and a replica of Captain Morgan's iconic red coat on display for HQ visitors to observe.
The innovative 30-minute documentary follows a team of prestigious artists and experts, including Academy Award-winning costume designer Colleen Atwood and bestselling author Stephan Talty, as they traverse the Central American country formulating a cultural impression of Morgan's legacy in Panama today.
"Most people have at least heard of the infamous Captain Morgan, but to this day, I don't know if people know whether he was real or just a fictitious pirate. For me, that was the most intriguing reason to take on the project," explained Haussman. "Our artists and experts acted as investigators, using their skills to paint a more accurate picture of Henry Morgan, the man. What we were not prepared for was the enormous scale of his feats, or the historical significance his conquering of Panama played in re-shaping the country and the decline of the Spanish Empire forever."
Part of the journey to create The Unsinkable Henry Morgan included diving into the search for Captain Henry Morgan's lost fleet – an underwater archeological expedition in search of the five ships Morgan lost in 1671 off the coast of Panama on the shallow Lajas Reef, which included his flagship The Satisfaction. The project began in September 2010, when a team of leading U.S. archeologists, led by Frederick "Fritz" Hanselmann discovered six iron cannons belonging to Morgan. Armed with funding from the Captain Morgan brand, the team discovered and excavated artifacts from a 17th century wooden shipwreck near where Morgan's ships were lost.
Drawing inspiration from the cast of colorful characters and historic sites visited during their travels in Panama, the team of artists and experts returned to their respective studios to create beautiful modern-day works of art, including a replica of Morgan's iconic red coat and a 10-foot recreation of The Satisfaction, that bring the re-imagined adventures of Henry Morgan to life.
The team of artists and experts, who joined Haussman for the journey to Panama, includes:
- The Historian – Stephan Talty is the New York Times bestselling author of Empire of the Blue Water, an account of Captain Morgan's army and the epic battle for the Americas. He has studied the privateer extensively and has a deep understanding of the everyday lives of Morgan and his crew.
- The Costume Designer – Academy Award-winner and one of the most accomplished costume designers in all of Hollywood, Colleen Atwood, drew inspiration from her Panamanian adventure to design a stunning contemporary rendition of Morgan's most famous wardrobe staple – his iconic red coat.
- The Set Designers – Italian production designer Dante Ferretti, who has designed sets for well-known films including Gangs of New York, The Aviator and Hugo, and his apprentice, Carlos Aloisio, built an incredible 10-foot replica of Morgan's flagship, The Satisfaction.
- The Artists – The Australian comic book artist, Ben Templesmith, best known for his comics Fell, 30 Days of Night and The Nightmare Factory, and award-winning comic book creator, Michael Bendis, known for Marvel Comics Ultimate Universe and JINX crime comics, partnered to create a one-of-a-kind graphic novel based on Henry Morgan's adventures in Panama.
"The Unsinkable Henry Morgan is the latest chapter in the Captain Morgan brand's ongoing quest to tell the story of one of the most fascinating privateers of all time," said Tom Herbst, Vice President of Rums, Diageo North America. "Our hope is that viewers walk away feeling inspired to lead a life rich in adventure by a man who was and is so much more than just our brand icon." He continued, "We were thrilled to be able to collaborate with Sundance Channel on this project. With their unrivaled connections in the documentary and independent filmmaking world, and their ability to create unique sponsorship tools, we have effectively been able to bring the Captain Morgan brand to life."
"At Sundance Channel we're always looking for daring and innovative ways for our sponsors to connect with our highly curious and connected audience. By working closely with Diageo, we were able to design an extremely specific and effective content play for their brand at both the Sundance Film Festival and on our channel. We are delighted that we were able to play an integral role in the production of The Unsinkable Henry Morgan and we look forward to sharing it with our audience," stated Sarah Barnett, Sundance Channel General Manager.
The Captain Morgan brand reminds adult consumers, whether diving into the history of Captain Henry Morgan from the comfort of your couch, or setting sail on a new adventure: Raise your glass – always in moderation!

Bonnat has changed very little along the way compared to many brands but has continued to expand the Bonnat brand throughout the world.

Many of these 'Grand Crus' have won prestigious awards around the world.

This is terrible. It is greasy, too hard and has an overly smokey taste, no subtlety at all. I eat a lot of Porcelana (alas...) and this just has none of the qualities that other Porcelana have. The Valrhona Pedegral is excellent, very fruity and soft. Amedei's Porcelana is the best in my view, more complex and deeper in flavour than the Pedegral, with an aftertaste of dried fruit and tobacco (but I do eat both). The Bonnat I wouldn't touch with a barge pole. If you like deep and smokey, then you're better off buying Greens and Blacks 80%. I don't like that particular brand but if you're after this kind of taste, then 100g of the latter will set you back about £2 instead of £9.45! But if you want a real Porcelana experience, try Valrhona or Amedei, you won't be disappointed.

Having bought Amedei's porcelana from the Chocolate Trading Co before, and always being very pleased with my purchase, I thought I would try this Bonnat porcelana and have some fun comparing the two chocolate bars.Whilst, in my opinion the Amedei bar may have a slight edge, The Bonnat bar was enjoyed by all and at double the size of the Amedei bar, is very worthy of your attention, hence I have awarded it 4 stars.

Landing your own kite in low to mid range winds is feasible: many vids and documentation.
But on those days of low and mid range winds there are plenty of people on the beach to help.
The real problem is self landing in heavy strong gusty winds.
For example you started out with 20-22 knots on a 9m kite (cold winter day) and the wind picks up to 30-32 knots. The other kiters started with a 7m so they keep on going and don't care about you.
With a 9m kite in 30-32 knots those self landing techniques become very dangerous and impossible.
Just try to remove your chicken loop from your harness hook at 30knots with a 9m kite: you won't be able to keep it in your hand. Or if you use two hands then it is likely the kite to start moving sideways in gusty winds and will fly through the wind window with even more power.
So how do you land when you are overpowered ?
In the past I used to land the kite in the water when I was in knee to hip deep water, undo the chicken loop and move towards the kite as fast as possible. And pray.

Google has been fairly open with its beta products – who hasn't yet received an invite for Gmail? – and is known for testing those products for months before going to a full-fledged release. The search engine giant's recent release of Google Desktop Search 1.0 is no exception. I can remember my fellow editor trying it out in beta not long after I came onboard here at DeveloperShed in November, and singing its praises.
For those of you who aren't writers or editors, this meant that the program had passed a major test. I'm not saying that my colleague was disorganized, you understand. I'm saying that the organization problems faced by a working writer/editor trying to keep track of authors' communications, manuscripts, source material, schedules, deliverables, and many more minutiae are…well, if not unique, then certainly formidable. Indeed, while I don't doubt that many home PC users found the Google Desktop Search beta very helpful, I'm quite certain that it was originally designed with the enterprise market in mind.
The reasoning behind that is simple: the stakes are usually higher when a business misplaces information than when an individual misplaces information. Additionally, businesses generally produce more information than single individuals. Combine those two points, and you have set the stage for an information management nightmare. Google quite justifiably expects that any application that can help workers find the information they need to do their jobs – especially if it helps them find it quickly and efficiently – would be welcomed with open arms.
Up until recently, though, this particular program came with a catch. Google released the beta for its Desktop Search in October of 2004. In December of that year, Gartner Group warned enterprises not to use the tool. The eminent industry research firm raised the matter of security issues. According to Gartner research director Maurene Grey, quoted in a CNETAsia story: "We have no problem with it being used for personal use. Our concern is…when it is used in a corporation, we have some security and privacy issues. Google says it will collect only nonpersonal data, but in a corporation how can you monitor what is being collected?"
Indeed, those of us who watch for any news related to Google – and in this field, who doesn't? – may recall that, later that same month, the search engine powerhouse needed to patch a security vulnerability in the desktop search tool. A pair of graduate students discovered the vulnerability while performing a security audit as part of their final project in their Computer Systems Security course. An attacker could take advantage of the vulnerability by including a Java applet in a Web page and setting it up to appear to the user as a normal part of the page. The attack would work by tricking the Google Desktop tool into integrating its local search results; the applet would then read those results and send them back to the attacker.
Google's prompt response to the issue was reassuring. The question is, now that the full-fledged 1.0 release of the Google Desktop Search tool is available, is it more secure?
{mospagebreak title=How it Works, and What is Different in 1.0}
Google describes its Desktop Search as "how our brains would work if we had photographic memories." It provides full text searching of a variety of files, including email, chats, and viewed Web pages located on PCs. The application creates an index of all your searchable information, and continually updates that index throughout the day.
Google Desktop Search 1.0 can search a number of file types that the beta version could not. These include PDF files; multimedia files, including audio and videos by meta-tag (which allows you to search by song title or artist name); Web pages viewed using Netscape 7+, Mozilla and Firefox browsers; and email from Netscape Mail, Mozilla Mail and Thunderbird. There are also plug-ins available that allow the tool to search even more file formats. Those latter features in particular make the tool more open source friendly than it was before.
It still only works with Windows – specifically, Windows XP or Windows 2000 Service Pack 3 and above. In my opinion, Google is missing the boat by leaving out the Macintosh and Linux users. Macintosh computers still enjoy a certain amount of popularity among graphic artists and others in publishing, where information is the entire point of our existence. One can only hope that Google adds support for those users later.
The program itself requires 500 MB of available space. Keep in mind that it makes a cache with copies of all of your original files…so when it creates the index, it doubles the amount of storage space your data takes up. This could be an unpleasant surprise if you have an older machine on which your files take up hundreds of megabytes.
Google Desktop Search allows users to conduct searches through a Deskbar interface. The small search box stays in your Windows taskbar. As with Google itself, users need only to type in their search queries and hit Enter. Search results come up in a browser window. There is a floating version of this Deskbar as well, that users can move to anywhere on the desktop.
Google Desktop Search hunts through your local drives and files on network drives created while the computer is running. It does not actually do a complete search of the Web if you are only searching your desktop. Web searching can be accomplished as a separate act. Be careful, however; if you change the type of search performed ("Search Desktop" or "Search Web"), it becomes the default until you change it again.
Search commands are simple, and include the features that Google itself uses. For example, if you want to find a document that mentions one particular item without mentioning another item – say, operating systems, but not Windows – you can enter "operating systems" –Windows. The minus sign before the word "Windows" will tell the tool not to return any documents that include that word, even if the document mentions operating systems.
With email, you can use the subject, to, from, cc and bcc fields for your searches. You can even specify the type of file to search. For example, if you are looking for that spreadsheet you wrote covering this month's financial report, you can search on spreadsheet files only, and not get any of the email that you wrote about the spreadsheet returned in the results.
{mospagebreak title=Security and Privacy Features(?)}
One possible security feature aimed as businesses is that you can only install Google Desktop Search on your computer if you have administrator privileges. It's pretty common for home PC users to have those privileges on their own machines, but that is not so common in the business world. So that adds a certain level of control. On the other hand, you also need administrator privileges to actually use the tool, which may be overkill. Of course, this doesn't exactly solve the classic problem with this tool, which is that it makes it ridiculously easy for anyone who just happens to get in front of your PC to go snooping around in your files, including your email.
The Desktop Search tool offers its users another unpleasant surprise: it is difficult to delete data. In fact, by default, the program never deletes anything. Even after you delete an item, you can retrieve it by clicking on its "cached" link. This is great for those who unintentionally delete an item that they discover they need later, but not so great for those who may want to get rid of certain computer files permanently – and there are certainly reasons to do that, which fall within the scope of the law. This also increases the "snoop" problem to include files you have deleted. The simplest approach may be to direct Google not to index certain items or directories to begin with, and set your preferences accordingly.
There are certain other options you may want to set to improve security while using Google Desktop Search. If you have password-protected Office documents, or are worried about secure Web pages that you visit, you can tell the tool not to search those. In fact, you can even tell it not to search other Web pages regardless of whether they are protected by Secure Sockets Layer – this will cover items such as Web-based email pages.
As to privacy, Google emphasizes that it does not make the content of Google Desktop Search users' computers accessible to anyone other than the user, including themselves. The company has an explicit privacy policy covering the tool in place, which you can read here (http://desktop.google.com/privacypolicy.html).
{mospagebreak title=Conclusion}
Google Desktop Search 1.0 is, in general, a strong improvement over the beta version. The standalone version of the tool is capable of searching more kinds of file types, and users can even add plug-ins if this is not sufficient. Furthermore, it offers greater control as to what kinds of file types the tool does not index or search. Deleting files remains an issue, but that has an upside if you find that you sometimes delete files you need later.
The problem with using Google Desktop Search on a computer with multiple users remains, though in a slightly different form. Because only those with administrator privileges on a PC can install and use the tool, typically only managers will be able to use it on a computer with multiple users. Never having worked in such an environment myself, I do not know if this is a good security practice…or defeating the purpose of the tool. It could even be both. At this point, though, it may be too technically difficult to create a version of Google Desktop Search that will only search a single user's files on a computer used by multiple people – and only when that user is the one performing the search at that.
Overall, though some areas remain questionable, Google Desktop Search 1.0 is more secure than the beta version of the program. Google has also acted responsibly whenever problems have cropped up with the program when it was in beta, and can be expected to continue to do so. Google has given users of its desktop search tool more options, more choices about how they can handle their data; that is generally a good thing when it comes to search, and in this particular case it even has the potential to improve the security and privacy the application affords. Whether it is secure enough to be used in a business setting may be something that each company or department needs to decide on its own; the potential loss of security, however, should be weighed against the vast amount of time, money and effort that can be saved by using this tool.

No controversy this time around.
New York Jets backup quarterback Tim Tebow has been deactivated for Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals, the team announced.
With Tebow out of the picture, third-string quarterback Greg McElroy lands on the Jets' active roster for the first time in his two-year NFL career.
Jets coach Rex Ryan took heat after activating Tebow for a Thanksgiving Day loss to the New England Patriots.
With starter Mark Sanchez suffering through an ugly performance, Tebow -- dressed, helmet on -- stood on the sideline with cracked ribs, not healthy enough to contribute. The Jets never dipped into their Wildcat subpackage and weren't about to lean on Tebow for relief under center. A risky scenario for an NFL team.
Ten days later, the Jets are taking a more conservative path and giving Tebow another week to heal.

How to Donate Stock
With the stock market regularly breaking records at the closing bell, many of your investments are likely worth more today than what you originally paid for them.
Time to sell? If you do, you might have to pay capital gains taxes. There's a better option that provides you with valuable tax incentives as well as the satisfaction of supporting a cause close to your heart: Give your stock to Colorado State University.
When you give CSU appreciated securities that you've owned for more than one year, you will receive two tax benefits:
- You are entitled to a federal income tax deduction based on the current fair market value of the securities, regardless of their lower original cost.
- You will be exempt from paying capital gains taxes on any increase in value—taxes you would pay if you sold the stock.
Reap the Rewards
To realize full tax benefits from your gift, keep the following IRS guidelines in mind:
- Donate long-term appreciated property. For short-term assets (owned one year or less), only the amount you originally paid is deductible.
- Watch the ceiling. The gift deduction for long-term capital gain property is limited to 30 percent of your adjusted gross income in the year of your gift, but the excess is deductible over the next five years.
How to Make a Gift of Stock
If you have the physical securities:
- Hand-deliver them to us; or
- Mail us the stocks and stock power in separate envelopes for your protection.
If you don't have possession of the physical securities:
- Instruct your broker to electronically transfer your intended shares; and
- Ask your broker to notify us once the transfer is complete.
We're Here to Help
To discuss using your stock holdings to support our mission, feel free to contact the Office of Gift Planning at (970) 491-3414 or email@example.com. Together with your advisor, we can help you fulfill your charitable goals and protect your assets from unnecessary taxes.

UALR Clinches First-Ever Sun Belt No. 1 Seed As Reed Sets Scoring Record
Feb. 28, 2010
Courtesy of UALRLITTLE ROCK, Ark.--For the first time in school history, the UALR women's basketball team clinched a No. 1 seed in the Sun Belt Conference Tournament as junior Chastity Reed set the UALR career scoring record with the 73-43 victory over New Orleans Saturday at the Jack Stephens Center. The Trojans improve to 24-5 overall and 17-1 in conference action and extend the team's winning streak to 19 games.
"I thought we had good intensity and a lot of enthusiasm," said head coach Joe Foley. "I think they wanted to play well to finish out."
Reed led all scorers with 36 points going 14-of-29 from the floor and 8-of-8 from the free throw line and also recorded a team-high nine rebounds. She broke the record set by assistant coach Jocelyn Love in 2006.
Marian Kursh and Shanika Butler each contributed ten points with Butler recording a team-high nine boards.
New Orleans opened the half with a three-pointer, before a layup by Sitzmann from Reed sparked a 6-0 run by the Trojans to take the lead with 17:11 on the clock. UNO answered back with four straight points by Brittany Helm to regain the 7-6 advantage with 13:08 until the half.
A steal by Asriel Rolfe followed by a jumper by Reed sparked an 8-0 including six points from Reed to take the 14-7 lead. After both teams exchanged baskets, four straight-points by Reed sparked a 19-0 run including Reed setting the UALR career scoring record with 1,497 points at the 4:28 mark.
In the remaining 28.5 seconds, the Privateers scored four points including the team's first field goal in seven minutes to bring the half-time score to 34-15 in UALR's favor.
The Trojans opened the second half on an 8-2 run extending the team's lead to 42-17 at the 17:02 mark. Over the next two minutes, both teams exchanged six points with all of the Trojan's points coming for Reed to maintain the 48-23 lead.
Over the next six minutes, UALR outscored UNO eight to seven including a steal and fast break layup by Rolfe to extend the lead to 56-29 with 9:37 on the clock. Both teams exchanged baskets, before back-to-back three-pointers by Rachele Monroe cut the lead to 61-40 with 5:14 remaining.
In the remaining 4:43, the Trojans held UNO to a three-pointer while knocking down 12 points to win 73-43.
UALR goes into the Sun Belt Conference Tournament as the No. 1 seed and will be on Sunday, March 7 at 12 p.m. on the main court at Summit Arena in Hot Springs, Ark. The Trojans will face the winner of the Arkansas State/Troy match-up on Saturday.

Campaign Signs
Given Scottsdale's longstanding approach to minimizing visual blight, the city utilizes the sign code to balance multiple community goals – aesthetics, public safety and informing the electorate. The following summary of City Code requirements and safety standards is intended to provide guidance/direction to you and your campaign representatives to ensure compliance with city regulations.
Campaign Sign Regulations (PDF)
State Law on Campaign Signs
Arizona Revised Statutes 16-1019 - If the sign is (1) in the right of way, checks to ensure that the sign meets the following: (2) The sign supports or opposes a candidate for public office or it supports or opposes a ballot measure. (3) The sign is not placed in a location that is hazardous to public safety, obstructs clear vision in the area or interferes with the requirements of the Americans with disabilities act (42 United States Code §§ 12101 through 12213 and 47 United States Code §§ 225 and 611). (4) The sign has a maximum area of sixteen square feet, if the sign is located in an area zoned for residential use, or a maximum area of thirty-two square feet if the sign is located in any other area. (5) The sign contains the name and telephone number of the candidate or campaign committee contact person.
City Temporary Sign Regulations
All temporary non-commercial signs, including campaign signs, are prohibited in the public right-of-way and on construction fencing
The Scottsdale City Council approved modifications to its sign code related to temporary signs in April 2007. Since campaign signs are considered temporary signs, they are required to meet these regulations which prohibit temporary signs in the public right-of-way.
Section 8.600 of the Scottsdale's Sign ordinance regulates temporary signs.
Placement and Removal of Signs
Section 8.601 of Scottsdale's Sign ordinance regulates temporary campaign signs to be placed on private property for a period of time not to exceed 120 days. Due to their construction and material, temporary signs are prone to creating concerns related to maintenance, litter and blight. For this reason, temporary signage is limited to 120 days. Signs that exceed permissible time limits are subject to citations and fines.
Campaign signs are limited to 16 square feet in size and 10 feet in height (32 sq.ft. behind dedicated scenic corridor easements); there are no other "signage calculations" for campaign signs.
Candidates, ballot measures and their representatives are strongly encouraged to be sensitive to the placement and understand the placement regulations. Because the Zoning Ordinance restricts placement of temporary (including candidate and ballot measure signs) to private property, the city can only ensure that placement meets ordinance requirements.
Sign Installation
All temporary signs are required to be placed on private property outside the public right-of-way. Actual right-of-way dimensions vary depending on improvements and street designs. Because of this variation, all signs must be a minimum 20' from back of street improvement of edge of curb (see drawing A) and must be outside the 25-foot safety triangle (drawing B).
Signs must be placed on private property at least 20 ft back from the edge of improvements.
On corners, signs over 2 feet in height are not allowed in the 25 ft safety triangle.
Sign Free Zones
Resolution No. 8853 established two sign free zones as authorized by Arizona Revised Statute in HB 2500. In these sign free zones the State Law's limitations on local enforcement for campaign and ballot signs do not apply.
Follow this link to the Scottsdale Interactive Map that show the two sign free zones.

They explode. In a game where the fun is getting up close and ripping shit up making the main bad guys explode was just the worst It made you play more in a really boring cover shooter way.
Hello Gears fans!
The time has come for us to run a special test weekend event to trial Crossplay Versus in Gears of War 4. This test is being conducted to evaluate the potential of a more permanent Crossplay solution in the future to allow Windows 10 and Xbox One gamers to play together in Versus outside of Private Matches.
Crossplay is divisive in any Versus experience, and Gears of War 4 is no different. From the beginning, we stated our intention to keep both platforms separate in non-cooperative game modes in order to preserve competitive balance. Conserving a fair, competitive environment remains a top priority for us.
The purpose of this weekend is to give Crossplay a trial run in a public playlist. We care deeply about players on both platforms and we've heard you, so our goal is to use this event to bring in a ton of data and listen to feedback from players on both platforms to examine the results.
What comes next after this hasn't been decided – this weekend is an incredibly important first step in this process. Once we use the combination of our data and your feedback together, we'll be able to make an informed next step (or not as the case may be). The key thing we want to stress is that we won't be making any surprise changes all of a sudden based on this weekend.
We need as many of you to participate as possible to make this a truly effective test. As a thank you for participating, we've increased the win / loss XP for match completion and allow squads of up to 5 players into this Social style playlist. Some of you may play this weekend and never match with another PC gamer. Others will. Regardless, we'd truly appreciate your feedback.
The settings for this test are as follows:
Playlist Settings
PC and Xbox players can matchmake together in this special Versus Playlist from Friday December 2nd - Monday December 5th.
Playlist Type: Social
Modes: Team Deathmatch, Dodgeball, King of the Hill
Maps: All (including Checkout and Dry Dock)
Win XP: 1500 (up from 600)
Loss XP: 750 (up from 100)
Maximum Squad Size: 5
Please do let us know your feedback by posting in this thread. Please tell us the Platform you play on and how you felt about the gameplay experience if you knowingly played with players on another platform.
Even if you haven't been in a match in Crossplay, we still want to hear your voice. Let us know your concerns or hopes for Crossplay Versus in this thread along with which platform you primarily play on.
Thank you in advance for your feedback and time to help us perform this special test.

Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto won acting awards Sunday at the 86th Academy Awards for Dallas Buyers Club , the story of Ron Woodruff , a man stricken with AIDS in the 1980s who battles the laws against experimental drugs that fight the disease. The film depicts the bureaucracy and federal regulations as villains during the early days of AIDS. McConaughey's Woodruff encounters Border Patrol, DEA and FDA antagonists in the film, showing the government agents as inflexible and unimaginative in the face of the devastating new disease.
Alfonso Cuarón's Gravity depicts a NASA spacewalk gone horribly awry. Nominated for 10 awards, the film garnered seven Oscars, including a win for Best Director. Gravity showed the International Space Station, as well as Sandra Bullock and George Clooney as federal employees of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The film's depiction of the vast emptiness of space and its groundbreaking special effects won it several technical awards, as well as the directing award for the Mexican director.
David O. Russell's reimagining of the Abscam scandal involving the FBI and several New Jersey politicians, American Hustle was shut out of wins, despite its 10 nominations. The most fed-heavy of the nominated films, American Hustle featured a federal operation at its heart embodied by Bradley Cooper's FBI agent Richie DeMasio. The interplay between his character and Louis CK's FBI bureaucrat middle manager made for some of the fim's most memorable scenes.
Agencies like NASA and the Drug Enforcement Administration have been depicted in recent prestige film history. In 2000, Traffic earned four Oscars for its two-nation depiction of the illicit drug war along the Mexico/United States border, including Best Director for Stephen Soderbergh. In 1996, Ron Howard's NASA-focused Apollo 13 was honored with nine Oscar nominations, winning two technical awards. With NASA funding decreasing by the year and public-private partnerships on the rise, the topic of funding the American space agency could be buoyed by Gravity 's success.
In 2013, Argo , a tale of a CIA agent extracting embassy staff from Iran during the revolution, won Best Picture. In his speech, director Ben Affleck thanked CIA extraction specialist Tony Mendez , the subject of the film. Upon winning a Golden Globe last year, Affleck thanked foreign service employees during his speech , saying "And those serving overseas, I want to thank them very much."

Google recently launched its new mobile playbook, replacing last year's edition, in which it gives details on how marketers can improve their mobile strategy.
Here we'll take at a look at the key points that Google raises, mainly the five questions which it believes businesses need to ask themselves in relation to mobile marketing, and provide you with Econsultancy's own research and understanding within each area.
1. How does mobile change our value proposition?
More than 1bn of the 5bn mobile phones in the world is a smartphone, and we are arriving at a point now where that it is the primary screen the user looks at. It's the always-on, always addressable device that marketers can have 24/7 access to.
Potential customers can be found wandering anywhere, and often all it takes for a retailer to get that customer through the door is a good mobile site or app.
According to Google's own research 94% of smartphone users search for local info, 51% visit the store they searched for and 29% make a purchase.
Of course the danger of always-online smartphone use means that while the customer is in your store they can easily compare your prices to those online, and you lose the sale.
This is called showrooming. Almost 24% of UK shoppers admitted to showrooming last Christmas.
Google suggests combatting showrooming by building your own digital relationship with the in-store customer, basically embracing their digital openness by providing in-store QR codes and presenting online reviews (like CNET ratings) on in-store products.
Google also suggests matching the online experience by offering similar perks: same day delivery, in-store pick-up and offering to order the customer any out of stock items from the store website and having them delivered for free.
We have our own post on how to deal with showrooming, 13 ways for retailers to deal with the threat of showrooming, which includes advice on offering unique instore only products, providing free wi-fi and drawing your customer's attention to your online site or app, giving them the ability to redeem exclusive online vouchers and even price-matching.
2. How does mobile impact our digital destinations?
A common question asked is whether a business should create a mobile website or an app?
Google's normal reply is 'do both' of course. Even though according to this research 85% of consumers favour apps over mobile websites, the creation of a mobile site or responsive site is a must for any ecommerce business, as you can't afford to lose potential customers who favour one over the other.
Google suggests that if you have to prioritise one over the other, your business should definitely build a mobile-optimised website. 57% of mobile users say they won't recommend a business with a poorly designed mobile site, and 40% have turned to a competitor after a bad mobile experience.
Other key takeaways
Make sure you design for mobile rather than merely taking content from your desktop site. The choice between responsive design and adaptive design will come down to your own business model.
There isn't a one-size fits all solution. Here's our post on responsive design and whether you really need it that will provide some added insight.
Understand the different mindset that a mobile user has compared to a desktop user. They will probably be further down the purchase funnel than their desktop counterpart, and while they're out and about they need clear navigation, large icons and a quick loading time.
Here's our guide to 11 gorgeous examples of responsive design that could help responsive site development.
After you have built a continuously optimised, well performing mobile site, now is the time to develop you app, in order to 'enrich your relationships with users'. Here's the six ingredients of a great mobile app that should be applied to your ecommerce app.
3. Is our organisation adapting to mobile?
To ensure someone in your organisation 'holds the mantle' for mobile, and has the requisite sense of urgency, Google recommends assigning a mobile champion within your company.
If you're only a small enterprise this may just be an individual, however for larger organisations, where mobile is fast becoming a major segment of your business, this can be a decentralised team, distributed through every facet of your company.
To see how your organisation can adapt to mobile, I highly recommend our report on Mobile Sophistication and Strategy.
This report looks at how organisations are approaching mobile, their performance so far and plans for the future. It also explores organisations' capabilities in mobile analytics and measurement, as well as specifics around the optimisation of their mobile programs.
There's also information on how apps are the primary path to revenue, which ties into Google's second question, and further best practices in mobile platforms and mobile data.
4. How should our marketing adapt to mobile?
A recent Nielsen study estimated that 68% of mobile searches actually occur at home where there are other larger screen devices available.
This goes back to the ease of access and always-on advantages of mobile devices. As websites improve their optimisation, this figure will only increase.
Google suggests that it's necessary to understand when, where and how close your mobile customers are when they search. Location, proximity and time of day can be used to refine your search marketing strategies.
Again our report on Mobile Sophistication and Strategy can help your business to achieve this.
Although mobile has increased the engagement between business and customer, the conversion figures are still relatively low. 3 out of 10 mobile searches result in a valuable business outcome (this figure counts visiting a store or calling a business as a valuable outcome, not just purchasing a product.)
Searching on mobile then making a purchase instore or on a desktop device is ruining the attribution model. Google recommends including these other valuable business outcomes (phonecalls, store visits, app downloads) in your results as users were driven to these channels by mobile.
Here's a look at how 14 brands that increased conversion rates via responsive design.
5. How can we connect with multi-screening audiences?
90% of consumers move sequentially between one device to another to complete an online task. Simultaneous multi-screening is becoming the norm. 40% of smartphone users watch TV while browsing their smartphones on a daily basis.
Encouragingly for ecommerce businesses with a good responsive or adaptive mobile website, 65% of multiscreen consumers say they begin their shopping process on a smartphone.
Check out our report for the Multiscreen Marketer, a study which addresses this rapidly shifting consumer media consumption behaviour and examines many questions applicable to this behaviour: common triggers of device switching, the impact of multiple device usage on brand recall and the online/offline media split for the multi-screen shopper.
65% of smartphone users in the Multiscreen Marketer report say it's very common that sites don't work well for their device. Tablet owners are significantly more likely to use their mobile devices to take an action sparked by something they're watching.
Google suggests that marketers need to realise that mobile is the first screen, 84% of multiscreen experiences involve mobile, therefore this is the first place marketing campaigns need to be optimised.
Comments (4)
Great article! I particularly want to comment on the point that businesses won't recommend a site with a poor mobile website. Many small businesses can't afford to have lots of multi-platform websites but as a smart phone user, I can tell you that I do get irritated when websites are not adapted for mobiles. Especially if it is a large corporation. So many small companies forget about digital marketing and multi-platform websites etc, but it is without a doubt one of the most important things a company needs to consider from the very beginning!
I've had no trouble finding success using Google Adwords and using the mobile option. The keyword finder is really straight forward makes for a quick start up on a campaign.
Nice article.
This study shows "How important is mobile marketing and making websites compatible with mobile devices"
All the information is given with great details and stats.
Thanks for sharing such a great articles :)
In a lot of companies, while there is a lot of thought given to crafting mobile strategy and how it can help reach business goals, not much attention is given to how the mobile project can actually be delivered - and successfully at that . I think it is equally important to keep mobile project management strategies in mind while answering the 5 questions you have mentioned. That is the key to a successful mobile strategy - In case you are interested, here is a post - http://mlabs.boston-technology.com/blog/a-5-step-guide-to-running-a-successful-mobile-project-

Loughner's Law
Memo to Rep. Bob Brady: Congress can't legislate civility.
See Slate's complete coverage of the Gabrielle Giffords shooting and arrest of Jared Lee Loughner.
The attempted assassination of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords really did rattle Washington. It took an entire day before someone reacted by proposing new, horrible legislation.
That someone is Rep. Bob Brady D-Pa., who told CNN Sunday that he'd draft a bill making it a crime to use words or images that looked violent or threatening to public officials. "You can't put bull's eyes or crosshairs on a United States congressman or a federal official," Brady said. "The rhetoric is just ramped up so negatively, so high, that we have got to shut this down." The solution: Expand Title 18, Section 871 of the U.S. Code so that more public servants would be protected from written threats.
Would it be rude to point out the problem with this? There's no evidence—none—that violent pictures or words inspired the violence in Arizona. In its complaint charging Jared Lee Loughner with murder and attempted assassination, the FBI found a letter confirming Loughner's attendance at a 2007 event with Giffords (he'd told a classmate that he found her to be "stupid"). That predates, by three years, Sarah Palin's election map of 20 congressional districts ripe for Republican takeover, marked with white and red targets. And Palin's map was the target—if I'm still allowed to say that—of Brady's bill. ("Someone is feeling a little guilty," he told CNN, asking us to read "Palin" between the lines.)
This is Brady's idea, but he's not alone in obsessing over it. In the aftermath of the Tucson shootings, liberals have scoured the Internet for evidence of Republicans talking violently, and conservatives have responded by finding Democratic maps festooned with targets. Time magazine pondered a "new era of political correctness," because both parties were guilty—why, in 2008, candidate Barack Obama even riffed off the never-bring-a-knife-to-a-gunfight line from The Untouchables!
I'll go ahead and predict that the New Era of Political Correctness will be shorter-lived than the "death of irony" we witnessed after 9/11. Brady's proposed legislation is half unenforceable and half redundant. Threats against public officials are already illegal. A year ago, a Pennsylvania man was arrested because his interminable YouTube rants veered into threats against Eric Cantor, who's now the House majority leader.
Loughner didn't make any YouTube threats. Based on what we know from fellow students, he was becoming increasingly odd, asking "random, weird questions that didn't go together," but he never talked about buying a gun. He kept his assassination plan locked in a safe, not posted on Facebook.
I can see why Brady wants to pass this bill. I can see why Palin's Web aide, Rebecca Mansour, has tried to convince a doubting world that the targets on Palin's map were actually "surveying symbols." This is a political story, and they need a political fix for it. They at least need to do something that feels like a political fix.
But there just isn't any fix for this. We are starting to learn what Loughner actually thought about politics. In one of his Web videos, he asked "What's government if words don't have meaning?" A friend of Loughner's told the AP on Sunday that the alleged killer "did not like government officials, how they spoke. Like they were just trying to cover up some conspiracy."
That's political paranoia, which is not the same thing as anger against politicians. We're in a boom period for paranoia right now. One example: After Obama was elected president, there was a run on ammunition, because gun owners worried he would ban weapons and gun sellers fed into the worry. In its May 2009 newsletter, the Arizona Civil Defense League—a gun-rights group that successfully lobbied for the state's open-carry law—listed the possible ways national Democrats could restrict gun rights, illustrating this with an Obama "Yes We Can" sticker blotting out the Second Amendment. None of the restrictions they worried about actually happened.
If you distrust the government, you've got good instincts. You can also be wildly misled. Conspiracy theories are interesting, and doomsday scenarios are clarifying, and on the Web it's easier than ever to find them. And more and more, if you are worried about one-world government or a North American superhighway, you can hear about them on some of the mainstream media you listen to—and they take on gravitas when they're mixed in with the rest of the stories.
If you want the harder stuff, that's easy to get, too. Timothy McVeigh had to hunt for his copy of the Turner Diaries. In five minutes on his parents' computer, a paranoid person could obtain that book; the "Protocols of the Elders of Zion"; any number of fire-has-never-melted steel documentaries about 9/11; and David Icke's theories about the shapeshifting Lizards who control the world.
Loughner's particular brand of paranoia was incoherent. "I know who's listening: Government Officials, and the People," Loughner wrote in one of his YouTube essays. "Nearly all the people, who don't know this accurate information of a new currency, aren't aware of mind control and brainwash methods. If I have my civil rights, then this message wouldn't have happen[ed]." But he was using his civil rights to publish a video essay; if government officials heard him, it's because they clicked on it.
On Saturday, before we knew much about Loughner, an Arizona Tea Party activist told me the incident had made him think about how he talked. "Should I talk differently when I describe the Founders and compare what we're facing to what they faced?" Patrick Beck asked. "Could somebody imply that I'm calling for a revolution?"
I've thought about that as I read more about Loughner. Beck was thinking about how to calibrate what he said so that the craziest person in the room wouldn't take it the wrong way. This is undoubtedly what Rebecca Mansour wished she'd done when Democrats like Giffords started complaining about the map of targeted seats. And I suppose that's what Bob Brady wants to do, with the force of federal law and prison sentences. But what's the long game? If someone like Jared Loughner wants to develop bizarre ideas about government based on obscure online theories—or based on nothing at all—no amount of civil dialogue will prevent it.
